  • Great content for those tired of the shallow waters in a standard Sunday school class

    I started my journey into theology- truly- with Dr. Mike Heiser. Anyone familiar with his work will immediately appreciate Carey’s ongoing contributions to teach the masses what many don’t get exposure to outside of seminary.

  • Love it

    I love learning about the history of the ancient near east, Bible patterns and themes, and just theology in general. Carey covers interesting topics in depth, and clear to understand. Definitely appreciate her sharing her knowledge, lessons and information I try to pass down to my two teenage boys as well.

  • Outstanding podcast

    Carey seems to know the text and the background do well and she explains things so thoroughly, answering my mental questions. She is humble, but also speaks with authority in that I can tell she has done her homework. I always learn something new from her. I am grateful for her.
